School work

This picture is actually

for an assignement I am working on for school.

Last couple of months

Well, I realized that it had been quite a long time since I updated everything. Life has been just sort of trudging along. Lets see what have we done?
Well, the last Saturday in August me and Bryce went to a Texas Rangers game. It was really a lot of fun. Then a few weeks after that we took a little drive up to Utah and spent Bryces 4th birthday with family. It was so nice to be able to spend a few days up there in the fall.
Since we have been back not much has been happening. I finally moved the kids into separate rooms. Sage is still in the same room but Bryce is now in the front bedroom. He is so excited to have is own room again except that he has been getting lonely at night and comes into bed with me. I told Bryan today that I am not going to let that happen for very much longer. I am not going to have Bryce trying to climb into bed with me and Bryan right after he comes home.
Other than that we are just trying to get through the days until Daddy comes home. Only about 35 days left. YEAH!!!

Last week

Ok so its been a week since I wrote. I just have not really been up to doing much in the past week. I am doing better now though.
We went camping last weekend at Dinosaur Valley State Park. The actual camping part really sucked. It was way to freaking hot and we had to sleep in the tent. I swear I don't think I stopped sweating the whole first night. Saturday we went to the outdoor place where you can see the dinosaurs. Bryce thought it was so cool. I don't have the pics with me right now but I will try to upload them later. I think next time I go camping I am going to try really hard to find a camper. I don't want to go through the sweat again.
Monday when I left for work I left Heinz in the house because it had been raining outside. When I came home from work at lunch I found that he had torn up the carpet in front of the garage door. Pics on that to follow also. I was so mad at him. Luckily I work for a carpet and tile company and my boss will give us a pretty good deal on fixing it or replacing all the carpet in the living room. We have not quite decided what to do about that though.
The rest of the week has gone smoothly for the most part. Now it is Friday and the beginning of tax free weekend. Yeah shop till I drop. I can't wait to see what good deals I am going to find on clothes for the kids. I will have to let you know how things go.
Well, I am going to head for now.
Later everybody

Seffe

We had something really sad happen yesterday. When I got home from work Seffe was laying under the tree in the back yard dead. Luckily my friend from work had come to the house with me after work. She was such a great help. We wrapped Seffe in a blanket and took her down to the vet. The only thing I can think that would have happened it that her stomach flipped. It is actually a common problem with big dogs. Especially big dogs like Seffe that eat really fast and then go play.
I feel really guilty that I was not there but I keep telling myself that even if I had been there, there was not much that I could have done. We love her and we will miss her very much.

Weekend fun

Well, we had a pretty good weekend. On Saturday we went shopping in the morning then after naps in the afternoon our friend Vicki called to see if we wanted to go swimming at the State Park. Once we got there though they would not let us in because there were not enough life guards for the amount of people. We ended up going back to Vickis and the kids got to play in the little pool. They had so much fun going back and forth from the pool to the sand box. They were a mess. I gave them a bath outside with the hose. They love that.
On Sunday we decided to try the State Park swimming pool again. We got in that time and had fun until Bryce had swallowed too much pool water and threw up in the pool and they kicked everyone out. Thanks Bryce. After that we played in the kiddie pool for a few minutes but it was way past nap time and Sage was freaking out over silly little things so we left.
I got a little sunburned, and Bryce got is cheeks and shoulders sunburned but other than that we did pretty good.

New shoes

I got Sage her first pair of Crocs yesterday. They are so cute. Unfortunately they are a little bit big for her. I got her the 6/7's because I was afraid that the 4/5's would be to small but they are just too big. Here is a pic of what the shoes look like. Tonight I will try to take a pic of them on her.

We went to the pioneer day picnic last night. I was so excited to go because even though I am not in Utah I still like to celebrate pioneer day. It was a little bit disappointing. There was less than fifty people there from all three wards. There was only one other family from my own ward. Not even the bishop showed up. I am glad that at least the kids had fun. There was a park there and of course they both enjoyed getting to run free.

Here it goes!!

Well, I guess it is about time I climb on this bandwagon. I have heard blogs described as basically online journals and since I am not very good at keeping a written journal hopefully I can be a little bit better at doing this. Not only with this be a good way for the extended family to keep up with what is going on with us down here in TX, it will also be a good way for daddy to keep up with us while he is away. Now the next thing I need to do is take a few new pics of the kids and get them added.
Until next time....
